Favorite Doctors from Doctor Who TV series. You may select up to 3.

While his run on the Doctor is often maligned and blamed for the series being cancelled, I've taken a
shine recently to Sylvester McCoy's Doctor. Yes, probably half the episodes that I've seen so far are
kind of poorly written. I just don't think they suffered because of McCoy, who I find interesting.

Of course I also liked him as Radagast the Brown in the Hobbit movies, so take that as a comparison.

I've seen most of McCoy's Doctor Who episodes now from Seasons 24 and 25, but nothing from 26.
I catch them online showing on Tubi.

Jon Pertwee was the first Doctor I ever saw as a kid, followed by Tom Baker then Peter Davidson - so those three were the ones I voted for. I stopped watching the show sometime in the early part of Colin Baker's run and never really came back to it.

Colin had that effect on people,
Just kidding. I only recently started seeing the episodes with Colin Baker in them.
The PBS channel in my area stopped showing them after Peter Davison. So everything I knew about
Doctor Who after that I read in Sci-Fi or comic magazines. I feel that Colin was just playing the Doctor
as more of a Kawwnnt, and I'm okay with that. It was a different approach. A more confident aloft Time
Lord. From what I've seen in interviews of Colin, he seems rather likable. Seems a shame that the BBC
fired him. I think some of his more recent audio adventures of the Sixth Doctor have been pretty good.

I suspected that Tom Baker would be the hands on favorite but I am certainly interested in seeing who else ranks high.
I saw Tom as my first Doctor, and it was many years afterward before I ever saw any of the first three Doctors.

Tom Baker remains my #1 favorite Doctor---you never forget your 1st.
For #2 & #3,Smith and Capaldi,just because.On a different day,two different Doctors might've made the cut.
As for the others,I don't dislike any of them.I like some more than others,some of them weren't shown in the best light,but all of them deserved their time in the TARDIS.
As for the others,the "unofficial" ones,the only one I disliked was Richard E. Grant,who played the part in the "Scream of the Shalka" animated webcast.He played the Doctor without any trace of charm,which should be essential to the part.To be fair,it is a terrible story, which goes back to what I said about Doctors needing to be shown in the best light.

We'll see how it goes as the Brother and I are rewatching everything from Eccleston onward.
I appreciated Eccleston more this time around than when his shows first aired. Heck, I even
was more receptive to Rose Tyler as well.

John Pertwee deserves some love.

Pertwee's doing all right. He'll probably finish 4th in the ranking.
And they all deserve some love. I feel for bad for those who haven't even gotten one vote.

It's Smith, Tennant, Capaldi for me. I haven't seen enough of the early Doctors to have much of an opinion on them. I genuinely liked Jodi Whitaker, but I think she was hamstrung with the material she was given, mainly trying to shoehorn three (well, four) companions into the storyline. There was never a chance to really develop the relationship between her and any of the companions, although they did trend that way w/Yaz towards the end, but it was too little too late. Chibnall's stories didn't have nearly enough of the light-heartedness that I liked from the earlier years, and it felt too much like he wanted to develop a completely new show. I'd have loved to see more of the classic villains, but most of all, I'd have loved to have seen Whitaker's doctor encounter River Song. That said, I still think that the Rosa episode can stand with some of the best of the previous years.

Ncuti Gatwa is still an incomplete for me, but I feel like it's trending in a direction I like for the most part. I'm curious to start watching the new season.

Yeah, I liked Capaldi, too. Both he and Whitaker were often better than their material.

Tom Baker is the GOAT.
